Academically, Otisville Elementary School's performance on the New York State Assessments is mixed compared to the district and state averages. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school's proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are below the state average, but close to the district average. In Math, the school's proficiency rates for 3rd and 5th grades are above the district average, but the 4th-grade rate is below both the district and state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past three school years, suggesting it may be struggling to improve its academic outcomes.
Despite its academic challenges, Otisville Elementary School appears to have adequate financial resources and staffing levels, with a per-student spending of $14,313 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students (29.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower concentration of students from low-income families. These factors could be leveraged to support the school's efforts to improve its academic performance and address the needs of its diverse student population.
